Parenting made me remember drawing skills that I had. I had drawn several record books of comics up until 6th grade, then kept drawing a little bit of cartoonish characters up until graduating from high school, and then it vanished from life. My skills are crude, but enough to draw some simple story with animal characters. Turns out, other adults around can't draw anything -- my when my wife draws, the son can't tell a cow from a pig, lol.

Apart from that, parenting indeed shows that your secondary skills are important -- any DIY is fascinating for kids.

I’m not good with words, but I’m good at thinking. That leads me to listen more than I talk during gatherings. To listen is to concentrate, doubly so for crowded events. You need to think about what the person is saying, and you need to filter out the noise around you. No, try to talk instead of listen and see how that feels. Change the equation. Let others come up with good responses to your ramblings for once. Of course, this can feel a bit egotistic. The other way around it is to stop caring that much what the other person is saying. We're all here talking shit. At the end of the day, what matters is if you were seen, if the other person felt seen and validated. That's what's great about talking to another person. You got seen by an animal that can understand you the most: humans.

I really wish people could ditch the "introvert vs. extrovert" framing. As a label, it is not helpful for anyone's personal growth.

People think salespeople are some kind of natural "extrovert". I hate to break it to you, but cold calling is draining for everyone. Salespeople may get particularly good at reducing the emotional expenditure involved in making cold calls, to be able to making a lot of them for long periods, but it is fundamentally a practice where one expends energy out into the world and gets absolutely nothing in return. I promise you, any salesperson making cold calls with no "nibbles on the line" eventually begins to doubt themselves and looks to make an exit. This is also why online dating is so draining for so many people, despite applications not inducing any "social interaction" like actual conversation - if you invest emotional energy into something that does not return emotional energy to you, then you will drain yourself if you are not careful.

On the other end of the spectrum, there are specific, individual people in our lives who fill us with energy and joy, who we love to spend time with. These are people we "vibe" with, who are on our wavelength, so to speak. When you have someone, maybe even more than one, such person in your life, I doubt you would like to spend less time with them.

Social skills are about finding more people who give you energy and resisting people who drain your energy. Finding more people who give you energy is, yes, a cold-calling skill, one where you take the risk of investing, from time to time, a small and limited amount of energy in the universe in the hope of finding a social energy return. But it is also about resisting people who drain your energy. Sometimes we need to interact with people in our families or at work who we can't just cut out of our lives, for one reason or another, who drain us. One can hardly be faulted for not having the energy, at the end of the day, to go network at some social function when they're already drained. But it is also that person's responsibility to learn to manage their emotional energy so that they will have some for the cold-calling that is necessary to find the people we vibe with. You do not need to vibe with everyone, and framing people with really good cold-calling skills as "extroverts" avoids the fact that such people do not actually vibe with everyone, they are just better at both the cold-calling skills involved as well as managing their emotional energy levels.
This is very true. I had tried learning C multiple times but pointers were always kind of hard. I kind of understood them but not really. I later spent a lot of time making an OS in assembly for my homebrew 6502 computer, and after that pointers made so much sense. It actually took me a little while to realize that these addresses I was passing around were pointers, and I had started to understand them without realizing it.
Interesting the author neglects to mention the Gap statistic[1] for the stopping criteria. It's a bit of a mouthful, but it does provide a metric for determining how many clusters the data indicates are present as compared to a random distribution in the same dimensions.

Absolutely nonsensical, in what way do the way the vote was given impact the outcome?

Economists and analysts at Cambridge Econometrics found that, by 2035, the UK is anticipated to have three million fewer jobs, 32% lower investment, 5% lower exports and 16% lower imports, than it would have had been. The report states that the UK will be £311bn worse off by 2035 due to leaving EU. The UK is not better off with Brexit at all, it is severely hindered by removing itself out of a trading agreement with it's nearest partners.

My point was that googling gets you a variety of results from independent sources. So I said that querying multiple LLMs is as close as you can get for a similar experience.
This looks interesting for an eventual project.

I want to separate out music into groups, then into shuffleable playlists. I would eventually stream each to one of those local FM transmitters so I could build a few radio stations for my mother, who is absolutely terrible with technology and, at eighty, is not likely to get better. I am figuring a late Fifties/early Sixties (stuff she won dance competitions to), then your basic angry music starting around the mid-eighties (Killing Joke's "Eighties," a few Ministry albums, NIN) and on, a classic rock "station," and now, disturbingly, a yacht rock playlist. Then she can just jump around as needed.
anytime i see math i wonder what it would be like to have a life and freedom to pursue
Cut things to as slim as possible. Reduce/outsource all non-core verticals. This will likely end up with an "incomplete" business model. It worked for pretty much all of FAANG and most of their acquisitions. Netflix was overly reliant on partners. Google/FB relied on an ad network that they had to build themselves. Amazon pioneered "no profit" businesses, and they haven't gone global, letting competitors grow huge in foreign markets. It worked for YouTube, WhatsApp, Android, most of the huge acquisitions.

Don't think of scaling in terms of user count, employee head count, revenue. Think of it in complexity. You can scale pretty easily in a small market until you get 90% of the market. It's by being clever that many people start to scale poorly. You know you're scaling poorly when you're hiring people just because you're hiring people, and when you spend more time communicating than doing the work.

You can't move safely as an entrepreneur. Even as a bootstrapper, someone will come in and buy out your market or siege you out of it. There are fairly safe red ocean businesses though, e.g. games and "specialist spreadsheets" like CRMs/ERPs.

Family time shouldn't be much of an issue; it's other hobbies that suffer. You should have a decent amount of time left over once things click.

What other portability platform supports all of them? Only the browser if anything, so we build everything in Node and Electron?
The chrome implementation is way better than of Safari. I don't use the Safari tab groups because they lack features like pinned groups which i need to find it useful.
There's definitely other issues, some are just regular bugs, and features that would be nice to have, like the number input flakiness with Vue.

One other time consuming thing is commenting test code, and figuring out what it actually does.

Automatically adding section headers and comments based on what was on the screen might be helpful, but those comments could then get out of sync, so it would have to have pretty good judgement to decide what was worth including.
Awesome, I really like it, but you must add the "© OpenStreetMap Contributors" Trademark somewhere on the map. It's usually on the bottom right.

If you need to validate the sources, you might as well go to the sources directly and bypass the LLM. The whole point of LLMs is not needing to go to the sources. The LLM consumes them for you. If you need to read and understand the sources yourself well enough to tell if the LLM is lying, the LLM is a wasteful middleman.

It's like buying supermarket food and also buying the same food from the farmers themselves.

I think career success is purely whether people like you or not.

Your skills and contributions don't matter at all as long as they are not so bad that people absolutely can not ignore it. Companies are mostly build on diffusing individual responsibility. Even if you majorly mess up as long as the right people like you you will be fine.

Doesn't mean one needs to be an extrovert. Just have good social skills in general. It really depends on what your superiors prefer and the general company culture. Sometimes being quiet and not sticking out can be an asset as well. Sometimes people will like you because you have (or pretend to have) deep technical knowledge, sometimes they will hate you because you make them feel inferior and it is better to play dumb. Know your audience.
Some of my favorites (no particular order):

- The Martian

- Arrival

- Snowpiercer

- Annihilation (a bit scary in some parts, but not really horror overall)

- The Congress

- Ex Machina

- Her

- Children of Men

- Blade Runner & the new Blade Runner

- Gattaca

- District 9

- Edge of Tomorrow

- Elysium

- Terminator 1 & 2

- Upgrade

- Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind

- Mad Max (new one) and Fury Road

On the cheesier side:

- Demolition Man

- Judge Dredd (both the original and the new one)

- Terminator 3 and beyond

- Matrix movies

Grand vistas but slow and sometimes boring, and often haughty / overbearing:

- The new Dune movies

- 2001: A Space Odyssey and its sequel (some other number, like 2010 or something, can't remember)

- Interstellar

- Inception

------

Of all of those, my top 3 would be the first three (Martian, Arrival, Snowpiercer).
awesome. i can see future iterations of this becoming really useful.

e.g. "i'm traveling to Tokyo this summer, show me good areas to live in if i want to run 10k every day through nature, as well as work out of highly rated cafes.".

i want to see good areas highlighted on the map. and even better would be integrating with Airbnb / Yelp / Google business ratings, etc. to show places i can rent in those areas.

another e.g. "best times to land in XYZ city if i want to avoid traffic getting to ABC". - to check this now i have to toggle some dropdowns in Google maps. natural language is a much better "interface" for most of what i want to do with maps.
> The 80286 was a turkey because it didn't meet the minimal viable product level of being a target for a 24-bit OS that could virtualize DOS applications. It was already crazy fast and became affordable pretty quickly but it seemed tragic that it couldn't do that.

That's mainly because it was designed before the IBM PC was a success and backwards compatibility with DOS applications important.
It is a bad sign when the author calls their own work novel.

This is similar to the stream cipher construction from a hash function. Only with the normal XOR of the plaintext with the cipher stream replaced with a more complex indice operation where S indice P is stored instead of S XOR P.

There are mature bindings for most languages. You only need to deal with the C API directly when you

1. Create a new language binding

2. Write a Lua extension

3. Call Lua from C

Typically, Lua is embedded as a scripting or configuration language into another project, and in this case you wouldn't even be aware of the C API.

The author misses the mark completely with this post. I not sure if they even know what introvert means. I recommend the book Quiet.

> I've worked with lots of introverts (I am a mix of both introvert and extrovert) in tech and it usually goes along with passive aggressive behavior (because introverts usually don't like confrontation) and other behavior that makes collaboration (which is needed in almost all business settings) a nightmare.

I could just as well say that extraversion goes along with overly assertive and aggressive behaviour and other behaviour that makes collaboration a nightmare - such as refusing to write documentation or write proper tickets because "we can have a meeting instead". But I don't - because everyone is different and you can't just generalise like that. Being an introvert doesn't mean you're bad at communication or avoid confrontation.
I started with non-technical skills at the earlier stages of my life (sales, marketing, communication) so my goal in the next 10 years is to pick-up:

- Programming and be proficient with one language fundamentals (for now JS/TS) - launchschool seems like a great place for mastery learning.

- Math academy for learning math as an adult with a similar principle of mastery.

On a personal front I've managed to lose 14kgs with the skill of consistency of calorie tracking with Macrofactor and strength training + walking.

"Where there is a shell, there is a way."

What this guy describes is social anxiety, not introversion.
The article posits that bad employees don’t just deliver bad results, but rather no results at all other than the ones gifted to them by good engineers who should probably be spending their time doing something other than keeping dead weight afloat. It’s a different perspective on what to look out for in a bad hire and the penalties of such a mistake.

Maybe you’ve been lucky enough to not experience that in your career.
It depends on the contract. In the DOE system it's usually national lab employees working under direct funding; in that case the operating contractor retains copyright. In the DOD world it's more common for development to be actual USG employees, in which case there is no copyright and the software is public domain.

None of this applies to state or local government: 17 USC 105 applies only to federal matters.

Attribution tends to be important to DOE people since they're usually academics working in the purview of Office of Science, and citations are how they get promoted.

I don't think anyone worries about AI training on their codebases, since LLM providers are not held accountable to any copyright enforcement anyway.
so, it's convenience. fair enough. i'm just trying to make sense of why it is so popular on hn. i often see stuff rated to mount everest here and i just don't get it. and then i'm wondering is it me? or is it them? am i one of those weak engineers who just don't know what's going on? that's all.
> I think they believe that the only separation is styling/not-styling, because behaviour is very tied to structure anyway.

I "believe" even harder :) CSS could be used as a completely separate thing. But from practical standpoint it's quite beneficial to tie it to html structure.

UI component is a single entity defined by highly cohesive set of structure, behavior and style. The reason to change often touches two of them and sometimes all three.

IMHO the only easily safely separable styling is color and almost safe are font and base scaling.
I respectfully disagree, emphasis on respectfully. C++ absolutely does have Rust beat on dev speed on flexibility. I would much rather prototype a quick and dirty gameplay slice in C++ over Rust, and I think so would most people. That flexibility comes at a cost, of course. C++ is three languages in a trenchcoat, waiting for you to turn away so it can bash you over the head and mug you.

There are ways to do anything in Rust, but that doesn't change the fact that it's a language less suited for fast iteration than many others. It's a good tool, just not the best tool for this particular job, and there's no obvious reason to use it over those tools that are a better fit. For the vast majority of games, something like C# is going to make rapid prototyping far easier than either Rust or C++, with far less overhead (overhead = time = money, and gamedev is a pretty cutthroat business).

Rust's community is not particularly small, all things considered, and even adjusting for size, Rust really does under-perform in gamedev. Rust's definition of 'technical excellence' often revolves largely around memory safety, which is something I definitely want from my air traffic control systems, but which barely matters in gamedev at all. There are other things that constitute technical excellence in gamedev, and these tend to be difficult or undesirable in idiomatic Rust (often precisely because they prioritise other goals over memory safety). Rust is a fine language, I'm fairly fond of it, but it's just not a good fit for this use case. And indeed, we see the consequences of that bear out in practice.

(I'd also encourage you to read the comment thread I link above - lots of experienced people agree on this one.)
Did you consider any other languages, like TCL? If yes, do you remember the pros and cons of that set of languages?
You could use CPU inference on a smaller local model (either always or after a demo budget is spent).

One thing I’d mention is that just because someone is good at socialising in the outside doesn’t mean that they don’t have their own issues. Demonising people who can colour within the lines in this area when they make a mistake or are pushed out of their comfort zone can be exactly the same for us as it is for you guys to be told “just talk to the person”.
Lookup what's the email host of the destination address. Get a local account on it. If the provider supports scheduled sending, use that, otherwise use Telnet or automate the HTTP request to the webmail.

Being on the same provider will remove a lot of the variable delays in internet delivery. Scheduled send could also mean your email actually arrives in the destination inbox ahead of time but is just hidden until the required time (as it may all be one database under the hood).

If you can get 2 accounts on said provider, you can also test various strategies against your own accounts.
Same for my question of bars in Thessaloniki, it found 5 in the whole city and the locations were off by km. I fear that we're missing the point, though, because the good bit here isn't "it can do what Google Maps can do", but we aren't asking the right questions to show that off.

Wow. This is an incredibly insular, and empathy devoid take. The author's binary assumption that introversion and introversion are choices are incredible.

Go and do some research on neurodivergence, and then go and have a think about how harmful this advice is.

That sounds like a bad idea to me.

CPU inference for LLMs takes forever (you'll get like 1tk/s on CPU) and limits you significantly in terms of model size/quality. You'll lock up all of your cores to provide service for a single user at a snail's pace.
